Abstract

La description et les dessins présentent un nouveau procédé, un nouvel appareil et un nouveau produit logiciel destinés à améliorer les performances d'un dispositif de mémoire (par exemple, une carte mémoire) grâce à un mécanisme de pré-effacement. Ledit dispositif de mémoire peut être, par exemple, une carte mémoire, une carte multimédia, une carte numérique sécurisée, etc. Lorsque les données dans un secteur, une unité d'allocation ou un bloc particuliers peuvent être supprimées, une ou plusieurs nouvelles commandes peuvent être utilisées pour en informer un contrôleur de dispositif de mémoire. Grâce à ces informations, celui-ci peut ensuite effectuer certaines opérations d'entretien interne, par exemple en déplaçant des données valides d'un bloc d'effacement fragmenté vers un autre de manière à ce que le bloc d'effacement fragmenté puisse être détruit et effacé dans l'optique d'une utilisation future, ou en réalisant un entretien efficace de répartition d'usure, ainsi qu'une optimisation des performances d'écriture.
